Abstract

A terminal fitting (10) includes a tubular connecting portion (11) and a resilient contact (14) in the form of a plate that is deflectably arranged in the connecting portion (11) and that resiliently contacts a male tab (90) inserted into the connecting portion (11). A contact (35) is provided in a range from a contact start position (37) with the male tab (90) to a contact end position (38) inside the resilient contact (14) in a plate width direction. Curved portions (31) recessed toward a center in the plate width direction are provided on outer edges of the resilient contact (14) in the plate width direction. Parts of the curved portions (31) most recessed toward the center in the plate width direction are arranged to face the contact start position (37) of the contact (35) in the plate width direction.
